She turns left in a beat up jalopy,
\nshe prefers not to be known as a classic
\ncar driver, her kiss Volvo-safe. <\/p>\n
By the time she reaches Kansas,
\nhaving refilled her tank ten times,

\nfull of fruit stand spoils, of cherry wine
\nbought from someone trying to make rent.<\/p>\n
She makes the map up as she goes,
\nshe erases the bowed lines at the beginning of songs,
\nalways keeping a weather eye out for hitchhikers<\/p>\n
rusted with their thumb towards the road,
\nwith straw jutting from cuffs. She brights dark lanes
\nto dodge a lion with a death wish and a dream. <\/p>\n
